E-Days Review & Homework
Facilitators: Steve Martin and Art Lizotte
Homework
• How do you design your internship programs, and what traits do you look for in interns? How can we create student experiences that emulate
your successes? How can we improve our practices to ensure our
graduates possess the traits you desire?
• What are the demographics of your organization and/or work group?
E-Days Feedback
• Could you tell a difference between projects –industry vs. faculty led vs. service oriented?
What are the pros and cons of the different types? What’s missing, if anything, in our projects?
• How can industry deepen involvement in student projects?
• Did you speak with a student today that you would hire? If so, why?
